I looks quite unrealistic and plasticy, but I still like it. Will need to pick this up for sure. This or Crysis 3, hmmm...

Yeah, it's just a combination of plastic looks, worst DoF I've seen in a game from 2012, lack of fine detail in the terrain, the shaders used and the entire game just reeks cheap to me. The only thing that impresses me is the grass lighting.

Almost every thread regular was kinda enough to dig through their archives and pick out their favorite screenshots they took in 2012.
The name of the contributor of each screen is next to the game name. Sorry if you didn't make the cut! (Click for full-res).

Thanks, and also, if you want the game in a cinematic Aspect Ratio, I'd advise getting rid of those Black Bars from the ENB and using a custom resolution at 1920 x 816 or so. That way, you get a boost in FPS, and we get less black bars.

Why would you want JPEG to die already? If you save these screens at JPEG max quality they'd load 2x3 times faster in this thread and the quality difference would be literally invisible to a naked eyes unless you zoom them up to 200-300%

Except that never happens and we have to deal with compressed screens left and right.

Hey, heads up, but you're playing a 4:3 game at a 16:9 resolution, which is causing the image to get really stretched. Since you're using PCSX2 there are widescreen mods available that let the game render properly and it'll look much nicer for you.
